    • Backstage (White Lion - There Is Life, Even After A Broken Heart)

      Welcome Backstage, I’m Damian DeadLove. Tonights band is the one and only, White Lion. This is a phenomenal group in my opinion, very underrated as musicians and songwriters. You have to understand something. One of the heaviest guys I know,...

      • I always love a band that when you listen to them they take you back in time. Great write.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Yeah, it’s a special band when attached to a great memory. Appreciate you.

      • Very informative. Excellent work.

      • This took me so many places. From countless hours watching MTV to meeting, speaking with & shaking hands with the reporter from South Africa who was friends with Stephen Biko…the movie Cry Freedom. I had forgotten that White Lion did a song about apartheid with a similar title to the movie. Some truly incredible talent blossomed & hit the scene in the 80s. I’m so glad you’re highlighting them, my friend

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the story my friend. It’s a great song, actually. I vaguely remember that movie, Stephen Biko? Oh yes, Peter Gabriel, had a song called: Biko. You can see the issues of the time, writers make that happen. Yes, the 80’s get a bad rap sometimes, when it was actually a really creative era. Your welcome.. Appreciate you.

      • Thank you, and how you changed the writing typography only enhanced the piece. It has been an enjoyment to work with you.

      • And, thank you right back, Fia! =)

        You’re such an easy breeze to write beside.
        It was interesting fun blending our individual skills and learning how you think.

        You’re uniquely special! ⁓ Richard🖌

      • Beautifully penned, Richard & Fia. Amazing collaboration you two. Appreciate you, both.

        Damian

        • Thank you, Syr Damian 🤜🌿🤛

          Both, for your gracious compliments and your expressed appreciation … this means a lot to me, and I’m sure to Fia, as-well.

          Many blessings unto thee! ⁓ Richard🖌

      • A great collaboration between the both of you. The wording brings attention to every detail like it was under a microscope. Two great writers together….great stuff. 🙂

        • Hey, Buddy!

          Sorry I missed your nice review ; the site missed sending me email notifications for awhile, burt it seems to be sorted now.

          Thank you for looking-in! ⁓ Richard🖌

      • This flows smoothly, sweetly and flawless, the reader won’t feel it’s a collaboration at all, I like how it’s like small promises come together to bond as a one loving poem, the title is wonderful too, a wonderful collaboration for sure. Thank You both.

        • Greetings, Lovely Light💕

          Thank you for the sweet gifts of your delightfully encouraging comments on this rather romantic Free Verse piece.
          Actually, I wrote none of it, but did edit it for Fia into the format your see presented above.

          It was my pleasure to help her.
          Blessings to thee, Dear Ghounwah ⁓ Richard🍂

      • hello dearest Damian in my pursuit for answers I have sometimes bitten off more than I could chew and got answers that were more than I could bear…this is very deep my friend only those of us who have faced this with our questions will get it great write

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you were able to connect with the write my friend. You’re right, the answers are often overwhelming to say the least. Appreciate you.

          Damian.

      • Powerful work, my friend.

      • I think that is a sign of a good poem when you can read your work and get a different thought from it. Nicely done.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the write my friend. So do I, it is the sign of a good poem. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • I hate sitting and thinking too much. Because then I start over thinking and that just is never good haha. Wonderful poem. It does gives you a different view with each read.

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I overthink all the time, I know what you mean. Although, overtime with wisdom I’ve learned to try and use it for good. lol. Appreciate you.

          Damian

      • Am I the only one who asks questions & finds the answers only inspiring more questions? Old from my archives:

        there’s a road I often travel
        between here…
        and not quite there
        when I’m looking for an answer
        some direction…
        to take me anywhere
        a million thoughts
        a thousand dreams
        all drifting on the wind
        if I try to follow even one…
        it circles back again
        to this road I often travel…

        Doesn’t stop us asking questions though, does it, my friend?

        • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. First off, excellent write my friend. I think it happens to all of us, it just shows a lot of us are searching for the same answers. That should bring us a feeling of hope, that we’re never truly alone. It’s the little things we all have in common, that brings me hope. Sorry for the tangent. Appreciate you.
